# NeuroForge full public context > NeuroForge is the Ace Labs AI systems research initiative focused on efficient, sparse, testable, resource-aware and local-first intelligence architectures. NeuroForge is the public AI systems research brand under Ace Labs. Ace Labs is an independent research venture led by Lloyd Handyside, also known publicly as Ace1928. ERAIS is the current NeuroForge research programme. Public description: ERAIS explores routed, modular and resource-aware intelligence-system architecture and associated evaluation methodology. NeuroForge applies experimental discipline to digital systems: define variables, make controlled changes, run comparisons, measure repeatedly, track failure modes and refine from evidence. Strong performance claims should be published with method, hardware, version, task source, baseline definition, command surface, repeat count and known limits. Contact: ace1928@gmail.com
